xkcd: Listening[^]
I have done something similar to this at one place I knew they had Alexa. It didn't work (I suppose I used the wrong formulation or Amazon changed the way to do it), but the owner got ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) ing frightened and almost bans me from the house. The other guests were rofling for half an hour.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

If you're determined to not use your hands, you can always have macros/code snippets to handle the parts that a program wouldn't get correct and have voice dictation run those. Then you can use the normal functionality for the parts that will. Technology is a long way away from making this a worthwhile pursuit though. You'd be better off having ChatGPT code your crap and you using text to speech to give it prompts.

Given enough time, anything is possible. Your code or someone else's?
I use a dictionary to validate every word in my text-to-speech program.
I use "markup" to indicate words that need to be spoken via phonetics.

A least that can give a recognition quality comparable to word-by-word translation from one language to another, with no concern about context or grammar. 
(I suspect that you intended to write "... in my speech-to-text program". If you really meant text-to-speech, that is a different, although related, problem. Are you then referring to a pronunciation dictionary? How do you handle homographs?)

Thanks! One of those where you read, but register something else.
Yes; I was thinking "Text to speech".
I use a dictionary to scan 3rd party text for words not in the dictionary (mostly English; including well known proper names). Spelling mistakes. Wrong "title case". Weird punctuation. Initials. "Item numbers". Abbreviations. Things that will cause issues with the speech engine. I run it through my parser until it "speaks" well; patching or adding "markup" as I go.
I have programmed a "speech to menu item".

It is possible. Just not very viable if other solutions exist.
So with someone that is mobility limited it can be done.
But for someone that can type, even just with a couple of fingers then that is how they should do it.
I used the following with google and found multiple solutions.

I have been doing some work with visually handicapped youth. You would be surprised to see how tolerant they are with their tools, learning very fast which mistakes the tools make. Text that looks gibberish to me makes perfect sense to them. Like "It always confuses 'I scream' and 'ice cream', that's no problem". They have no problems with, say, a course named "LOL Introduction to programming".
Handling zillions of such misinterpretations is like a "survival technique" for them, as way to manage even with mediocre tools. The negative side of it is that they do not care to report the problems to the programmers, so the tools can be improved. When I 'catch' them with such problems and ask them "Don't you want to report it, so it can be fixed?", the answer usually is something in the direction of "Naaah ... I understand what is meant. It isn't necessary."
IF we, as users (whether we are programmers or not), really should be much more eager to report bugs and problems to the developers. That is the best way to have the tools improved.
As programmers we know what information a software developer needs of information, and in which format. Some years ago, I received a Christmas Greeting from one developer of a tool I was using professionally: He wanted to express his gratitude for all the error reports I had delivered through the year: Always clear, to the point, with all unnecessary parts shaved off. He really wished that other users could learn to provide similar error reports

Was discussing the concept of "skinning"; putting material over a mesh. Or the way EV's have crate engines and anyone can now make a car and "skin" it into a super car.
AI kept rejecting me as a fugitive from The Silence of the Lambs.

I'm dying for code generator ideas to leverage my improved Slang/Deslang technology.
I've written enough parsers and lexer generators by now.
Does Microsoft already produce a JSON entity framework type thing that gives you typed access to JSON data?
Edit: NVM, I finally found one. Microsoft didn't write it, but it's much more ambitious than anything I'd come up with.
Any other ideas?

I'd convert (load) JSON data to entity classes and use Entity Framework.
VS has XML to classes. Haven't looked for "JSON to classes" since I haven't needed it.
Later: Just looked. VS has JSON to classes under Paste Special.

Gosh, and yet I'm not the one complaining for no reason when I could just keep scrolling.
Or creating an account just to say that. Get a job.

Let's be honest here, all you ever do in the forums is whinge

Says the guy that created an account specifically to whine.
Pardon me for saying so, but you don't seem very bright. Maybe you're just having an off day.
Unemployment will do that.

I figure if on a Monday - regular or not - if he has time to be creating new accounts and posting on codeproject just to complain about someone he probably doesn't have anything more productive to do - on a Monday.

Yet you still read it...because it may be over your head does not make it rubbish.
